( I almost laffed when u said u applied for resident permit in SA..as a Nigerian????😳 They're tired of Nigerians & cannot wait to get rid of those of them still there)

    Congratulations on your new journey. Peaceful & happy life is more important. I left Nigeria when I was 19 years old now 37 years. Lived in America for 17 years and also became a citizen. After traveling around the world and seeing the world for what it really is, we decided to move back to Nigeria after 17 years in America.
    Our family and friends thought that was the most stupid idea ever. Leaving a great country like America to live in Nigeria. Well, when I left I was 19 and my frontal lobe was still developing. At this age and time, I realized everything in USA and Europe is not mine or my ancestors. I realized my ancestors that died during slavery and colonization will be proud of my decision to come back home. Most folks will eventually come to this realization at some point in their lives but let it not be at 90 years old.
    Now, Nigeria isn’t for everyone neither is abroad. You first have to have a purpose in life and decide what you wanna do next. Moving to Nigeria has given me the long awaited peace that I longed for. No more living around non empaths with guns and women who are comfortable marrying 10 times. No more police harassment which I encountered multiple times. No more profiling or job segregation and folks yelling “go back to your Africa” after stealing lands from Native-Americans.😂
    They’re two types of folks in this world.
    1. The ones that found a solution
    2. The ones that created the solution.
    Nigeria isn’t for the weak and you all can argue with yourselves but you cannot make money or live the kind of life you’ll live in Lagos anywhere else in the world. Most folks overseas have multiple kids and a 9-5 jobs. Imagine bringing a family of 7 back home? When flights are $1,500 each and you also have to pay bills in America before leaving and also bills while in Nigeria for a family of 7 that’s a lot of money to just visit Nigeria. They’ll rather lie to the kids that Nigeria is a dead zone. Tayo Aina single handedly raised $100’s of thousands to buy a passport while working from Nigeria. Let’s not forget that Nigeria made him the man we know today before he decided to move for his own peace and reasons.
    Africa is the future. WW1 & WW2 couldn’t touch us. Truth be told, the world is fighting to own Africa because we are in resentment not knowing that we’re the only 100% original DNA left in this world, everyone else is mixed with some sort of blood in them. All the vegetations and Human Resources is here. We don’t buy dogs because we cannot afford kids. We buy dogs for security and reproduce babies like crazy. That’s who we truly are. We are the food basket of the world and soon Indians, Lebanese, Pakistanis and Chinese will buy Africa from us. Nigeria will always be home for me and will be selling homes for returnees in the next 10 years when they’re no longer lands in Lekki for sale.🇳🇬✊🏾
    As for us, we worked hard to be here and at some point you realize another man created the money you’re constantly chasing. My dad is 100 years and happy in Nigeria and nothing beats the joy of him seeing me and his namesake/grandkid. My parents were farmers and we never lacked food or anything growing up. Even the Chinese are coming to Nigeria to farm while we are running away from farming. Just because we don’t want anyone to call us farmers, we prefer to be called engineers instead. Lbvs
    All the best brother ! 🌹

I have been in Lisbon for a year now and I have met at least 100 different Nigerians , you can find them in churches like riverside Lisbon, redeem, dominion city church and most work for a company called Teleperformance. There is definitely quite a lot of Nigerians living in Portugal but just concentrated to a particular place. Also thank you so much for this video and highlighting the importance of a good quality of life, I love telling stories and filmmaking so i will definitely start next year. Thank you for inspiring me ❤. Merry Christmas

      ​@@flowyscreations The St. Kitts passport would still offer him easy access to various countries.

The constant need to make connecting flights through different countries took a toll on his health. In Portugal, however, he can access direct flights with minimal or no connecting flights.

I lived in the UK for 4 four years. Left Naija as an adult. After a while i got tired of life there. Felt i wasn't living the life i wanted even though I had constant light, water, security etc. I felt drawn back home and I did come back. Strangely with all Naija issues I'm happier here and feel like my life has more purpose. But thats after my 4 year sojourn. So live your life bro, enjoy yourself and take whatever decision you feel is right for you. There is no one size fits all solution to everyones life. Peace.

    Many Nigerians often act as if every bad thing in the world happens here, but that mindset needs to change. Yes, we face serious challenges, but we also have the power to turn things around. Change starts with each of us. As we demand better leadership, we also need to take a hard look at ourselves, reject bad habits, and embrace values like honesty and responsibility. Building a better Nigeria isn’t just about holding leaders accountable-it’s about all of us doing our part to create the country we want to see.

    • @xendastark
      @xendastark День тому +19

      You're talking like it's easy. We have to just face the reality. It's not easy in Nigeria. And for how many years have you people been talking about change? We all don't have the same threshold and luxury to spare wasting time in a country where everything is messed up and only works for the rich. Put your hand on your chest and tell us the Nigeria is better than Portugal. Some you just talk anyhow.
      No one is forcing you to side with them anyways, if you want to stay, stay. Allow those who are moving to move in peace. After all it's all about preference.

Your journey to your passion & fulfilling your dream inspires me a lot. I ever wondered when will I be able to see you in Portugal. I saw your videos on Portugal before but now can't believe that my favorite UA-camr has come to live in the same city in which I live. Hope to see you one day and have coffee together. Congratulations to you for getting 1 million subs and hats off to your channel through which we can see the high quality of content regarding travel, lifestyle, and philosophy. By the way, I not only liked your balcony but also liked the interiors of the apartment in Lisbon. Stay blessed ever.

      What exactly are you passionate about positively and negatively. Positive being what do you enjoy doing? Negatively being what drives your anger? Delve deeper into those searches and you can build purpose around those. For me my passion is cooking and I have big ideas in my head but I can’t figure out a starting point. What drives my anger is seeing people flout rules. I don’t see myself being a police officer though. Just gave this examples hoping you grasp what I’m trying to communicate. Blessings sis.
